Abstract: 389,023. Washing-machines. KRAUSS, F. E., Schwarzenberg, Saxony, Germany. Sept. 19, 1932, No. 26018. Convention date, Sept. 18, 1931. [Class 138 (ii).] The perforated spherical clothes receptacle c of a washing - machine is mounted so as to be freely rotatable in an annular frame b which is positively rotated within a stationary casing a. The shifting of the centre of gravity of the receptacle due to the movement of the frame tends to rotate or oscillate the receptacle and such effect may be increased by arranging the axis of the trunnions c<1> of the receptacle inclined to that of the trunnions bl of the frame, or such axes may be located in different planes which may be parallel or otherwise. A weight m may be secured to the receptacle in a position remote from the cover d. Additional driving impulses may be imparted to the receptacle by means of abutments or springs e, Fig. 1, within the casing with which abutments e<1> carried by the receptacle come into contact, or guides or vanes a<1>, c<11>, Fig. 3, may be provided on the casing and receptacle. In one form the abutments may be adjacent the receptacle trunnions. In a modification the receptacle may be mounted in the annular frame by means of rollers arranged around its circumference and engaging the frame which is then U-shaped in section. In another form the receptacle is journalled in an annular frame which itself is journalled in another annular frame which is positively driven and is journalled in the stationary casing. In another form, Fig. 5, two sets of three uniformly spaced balls f on each side of the frame b bear on the surface of the receptacle at diametrically opposite points.

Abstract: 1,045,747. Electric selective signalling systems. NIHON GENSHIRYOKU KENKYU SHO. July 5, 1963 [July 7, 1962], No. 26698/63. Heading G4H. In a system for converting a pure binary number into a decimal number each binary bit is associated with current sources weighted in accordance with the decimal digits in the decimal number equivalent to the binary bit and the currents relating to each decimal denominator are summed. Thus in converting a 6-bit binary number into a decimal number the 6th binary bit (2<5>), Fig. 1, is associated with current sources 18<1> and 20<1> weighted 2 and 3 respectively, the 5th bit (2<4>) is associated with current sources 17<1> and 19<1> weighted 6 and 1 respectively, and so on for the other bits, and the sum of the currents on lead 3, which appears as a voltage at a terminal 25, gives the units digit of the decimal number and the sum of the currents on lead 4 gives the tens digit. If the sum of the units digits on lead 3 exceeds 9 then a current from a source 21<1>, weighted - 10 is applied to lead 3 and a current, weighted + 1, is applied to the lead 4. In a modification the amplitude significant output signals are digitized (Fig. 6, not shown) by a conventional balancing circuit, and in a second modification, in an attempt to minimize " carries " caused by the sum of the units digits exceeding 9, the larger units, such as 7, are entered as a + 1 on the tens lead and an appropriate negative (e.g. - 3 for 7) on the units lead.
